When I started to talk about retiring, I was almost seventy.
I still felt like a young guy and knew I could run circles around the younger men I worked with.
I started wondering what I would do with my free time once I retired. My partner told me I could take up an interest, or my friends and I could do some traveling. I didn’t suppose traveling was a great idea because of the high cost of fuel. I told his all I know is Heating, Ventilation, and A/C. I was in the office suite last week, and I sat down to talk to the owner of the Heating, Ventilation, and A/C dealership. I told him I was considering retiring. As much as he hated to see me go, he totally understood I was getting exhausted. He said he was almost sixty-five, and he noticed how he was slowing down. I wasn’t slowing down, even though I felt the aches and pains more. All the injuries I acquired in the past, seemed to be nagging me on a proper basis. I had been toiling as an Heating, Ventilation, and A/C service tech for almost 40 years, and I was getting exhausted, even though I didn’t want to be lazy. I told the boss Ed that I had a task to get done, and headed out of the office. A week later, Ed, the owner of the Heating, Ventilation, and A/C dealer, called me into his office. Ed told me he had a part time task for me. They were looking for Heating, Ventilation, and A/C instructors, and Ed immediately thought of me. I knew everything about fixing Heating, Ventilation, and A/C systems, and I had patience with new service techs, since I had been an instructor for years. I asked when I could start, because I was putting in my retirement notice.
